Fisher & Paykel Dryer Not Heating – Ormeau

Fisher & Paykel Dryer Not Heating – Ormeau

A customer in Ormeau contacted ISB Electrical because their Fisher & Paykel dryer was running but not producing heat. The drum was turning, but the clothes remained wet and the drying cycle was taking much longer than normal.

When a dryer is not heating, the fault can be caused by a faulty thermostat, thermal cut-out, heating element, airflow restriction, blocked lint filter, fan problem, wiring fault or electronic control issue. A proper diagnosis is important before replacing parts.

Inspection and Diagnosis

• Checked the dryer power supply and electrical safety condition
• Confirmed the drum was turning during the cycle
• Checked whether the dryer was producing heat
• Inspected the lint filter and airflow path
• Checked the heating circuit components
• Tested the thermostat and thermal protection circuit
• Inspected wiring connections around the heating system
• Confirmed the faulty component before advising repair options

Fault Found

The fault was caused by a faulty thermostat. The dryer motor and drum operation were working, but the heating circuit was not operating correctly because the thermostat had failed.

A faulty thermostat can prevent the dryer from heating, even when the appliance appears to run normally. This leaves clothes damp at the end of the cycle and can cause extended drying times.

Repair Required

The faulty thermostat required replacement. After replacing the thermostat, the dryer should be tested through a heating cycle to confirm correct heat output, airflow and safe operation.

The customer was also advised to keep the lint filter clean and maintain good airflow around the dryer, as restricted airflow can cause overheating and may contribute to thermostat or thermal cut-out failures.

• Faulty thermostat
• Blown thermal cut-out
